After unpacking some wine, we set off for Sainsbury's and a cup of tea at a little cafe on Kingsland High Street. Because James has had a lodger in his spare room, we hadn't stayed with him for about a year and so hadn't been to the cafe. We received a warm welcome and the staff even remembered our order! The Enjoy cafe is almost more of a community centre with its regular customers who spend many hours there. It is run by a Turkish family and provides roast meals, breakfasts, puddings, etc plus delicious Turkish flat breads (Gozleme) filled with spinach, cheese or potato or combinations. of these. The flat breads are made in the window of the shop and also sold as takeaway, especially at lunchtime. The prices are very reasonable and eating more that £10s worth of food is a challenge.
Our way back from Sainsbury's to James' flat takes us through Ridley Road market. The market caters for the Caribbean, Asian and African communities in the area so there is plenty of fruit available. The market is always busy.
